My setup is Spring 3 JMS, MVC + Websphere MQ + Websphere 7

<!-- this is the Message Driven POJO (MDP) -->
<bean id="messageListener" class="com.SomeListener" />

<!-- and this is the message listener container -->
<bean id="jmsContainer"
    class="org.springframework.jms.listener.DefaultMessageListenerContainer">
    <property name="connectionFactory" ref="xxxCF" />
    <property name="destination" ref="someQueue" />
    <property name="messageListener" ref="messageListener" />
</bean>

When I start up the server, the listener seems to start correctly since it receives the messages that are on the queue as I put them.

However, once I run any simple controller/action that doesn't even have anything to do with JMS it gives me the message below over and over...

The original listener seems to be still running correctly...but I think the controller is somehow triggering off another connection? Does anyone know what I should check for or what might cause this issue?

thanks
